Please be aware various carriers are advising they will implement a Peak Season Surcharge (PSS) for shipments to all Australian and New Zealand ports. Some show an effective date 1st July 2026, others are showing a later date in July such as 7th July or 14th July.
Origin: North East Asia, South East Asia, India Sub-Continent and Middle East Region
Destination: Australia & New Zealand
Peak Season Surcharge: US$ 350 – US$ 500 per TEU Dry/Reefer
Note: PSS will be applicable to shipments based on Shipped on Board Date.
Once these increases are confirmed as implemented GPSM will update your rates accordingly.
The war in the middle east, rising fuel costs, fuel security as well as capacity are being sighted as reasons to justify the PSS.
